Recent Hill's Beach Reviews

We needed a short term stay for our family in the middle of a move -- between closing on a house we were selling and closing on our new home -- and this property was perfect. Like all moves, ours was hectic with packing, making last minute arrangements and putting an entire household in storage. When we arrived at the cottage, we were exhausted. Our spirits were immediately lifted as we settled in and fell into the beds. The layout and arrangement was perfect for us (three adults and two dogs) and everything was easy to find and readily available. The next morning, we were up and walking the dogs on the beach -- less than a half block away -- and enjoying the morning sunrise.
Even though our circumstances were not ideal -- this was hardly a vacation -- this cottage and the surroundings were perfectly restorative. We settled into a domestic routine with the well equipped kitchen and available laundry facilities, could return to our jobs without disruption and enjoyed a few days of peace and quiet before the second half of our move -- from storage to our new home.
We had visited Old Orchard Beach many times in the summer, but this brief stay in the late fall was eye-opening. The town was peaceful, the beach was beautiful and nearly deserted and there were quality restaurants still open in the area.
The property was carefully maintained, the owners were very responsive and took a real interest in making sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. This 10 day stop over was more cost effective and practical than staying over in a motel or extended day suite, and much more homey and relaxing. In fact it made what would have otherwise been a stressful move into a "mini-vacation"and we left refreshed and ready for the challenges of the next phase of the move and our arrival at our new home. Luckily for us -- our new permanent location is only 15 minutes away from Old Orchard Beach -- and now we know the wonders of visiting in the off-season.
We would recommend this property -- at any time -- summer or off-season. It was a beautiful retreat for us and turned out to be a refreshing "vacation" in the midst of a very hectic time.

We can't begin to say how much we enjoyed our stay! This lovely cottage provided the perfect fall get away, and we only wish we could have stayed longer. The owners have paid attention to every detail in this beautifully restored cottage: well-appointed kitchen, the most comfortable beds, cozy living area and charm throughout. We visited with our daughter and her fiance, and the home is perfect for four people. The location is wonderful as well, providing the perfect home base for day trips along the coast or exploring Kennebunkport just minutes away. Brian is an awesome host, thoughtfully attentive to every question and request. We loved our stay in Maine, and thank you for the best vacation ever!

I just finished a four night stay at the cottage w my husband and two small children. I absolutely loved the house. The kids felt at home with the upstairs bedroom containing the two twin beds and I thoroughly enjoyed getting up early and watching the sun rise over the ocean from the sun room. The only thing to watch out for is the low ceilings, especially in the stairwell. Other than that, the house is perfect. There is so much natural beauty and gorgeous towns all within a 30 min drive.
